Sets CTS.1 to CTS.6 as illustrated in the Tri-ang Railways 1965/1966 Canadian Catalogue

Introduction

The first article on 'CANADIAN TRI-ANG RAILWAYS - THE 1965 AND 1966 TRAIN SETS' was first published in ‘TRAIN COLLECTOR’, the quarterly journal of The Train Collectors Society, and serialised in five parts from June 2009 to June 2010.

It was a study born out of more than 50 years of playing with and collecting Tri-ang Railways, the acquisition of original factory archive materials from Canada and the generosity, help, support and kindness of many fellow Tri-ang Railways collectors and enthusiasts.

Special thanks must be given to the following people who helped and encouraged me to create this website:Terry Walker - for his friendship, help, support and encouragement as well as for his research and many superb photographs and images of rare literature, sets and individual models ... half of this website really belongs to Terry !
